I thought you might like a sneak peek at the No. 1 car in the convoy!

We've just had it liveried up and this MINI will now be out and about promoting the event.

I'm sure some of you will spot it on a motorway near you!

Thats excellent

Can anyone recommend any good but inexpensive B&Bs with prices? I know this is Blackpool so there's no shortage of them, but some local recommendations wouldn't hurt.

There's a little Yellow/Black Cooper here which wants to be a record-breaker but I'm 120 miles away and depending on how late it finishes up it'd probably be easier to stay the night.

Thanks for your help.

you could always follow myself and MiniAdventurer back as we will be heading back that night...

KillerByte · Mar 16th, 2007, 11:10 AM

That's not a bad idea either.

I've got the day off on the Thursday too, so it wouldn't really matter how late I get back. Looks like I'll be putting my name down then.

The car's got its service and M.O.T. two days before, so provided there are no problems/delays there I'll help make up the numbers.

We reckon the night will be wrapped up by about 9.30 - 10pm. But if anyone does require overnight accomodation, let me know and i'll have a look round and see what sort of prices we can arrange with local B&B's/ Hotels.

I figured it wouldn't go on much later than that. I'll drive back home along with some of the others.

Alison should have an email from me now.

Woodmans Marketing! · Mar 16th, 2007, 11:40 AM

Alison's off today and tomorrow but back in on Sunday so don't worry if you don't recieve confirmation until then!

Mini Princess · Mar 16th, 2007, 12:34 PM

Just managed to get 3 more to sign up - woo hoo!

Stevemac · Mar 16th, 2007, 01:19 PM

Can you make sure you have some flyers for me to distribute when I bring my Mini in, for its service first thing on Saturday.

Well the Auction at my place of work has been setup to start on Monday.

We're auction mine and Daydreams passenger seats, and Alison has kindly let us auction hers aswell

Just hope we get some bids

wincakes · Mar 16th, 2007, 07:18 PM

Have just registered! If anyones travelling from Leeds way, along M62 and fancy's a mini convoy, let me know! I'll hopefully be setting off about 4.30 ish.

Alison will only be back in the office on Sunday. You should not expect anything before at least then.

South Shore Lad · Mar 17th, 2007, 09:48 AM

It was about 5 days before I had a reply from Alison, so please hang on in there!

Anybody planning a convoy along Squires Gate Lane for the St Annes and South Shore brigade! ?

I'm a classic owner and have added a thread over on minifinity.com , so you should see a few more classics, i will hand some flyers out in Preston tomorrow.

If anyone wants to meet in Preston to convoy, maybe meet at Moor Park like the Blackpool run?

Cheers

Paul

Great stuff Paul.

It's encouraging to see the mostly very positive reaction over on minifinity.com, with only one anti-BMW comment to speak of! Why can't we all be friends!!
